Time Mcp

katomato65/time-mcp

Provides a single tool to fetch the current time through MCP's tool interface. The get_time function returns timestamps in three formats: full datetime, time only, or date only, controlled by an optional format parameter. Runs as a stdio transport server, so you connect it through your MCP client config and call the tool when you need Claude or another assistant to know what time it is right now. Useful when you're building workflows that need temporal awareness, like scheduling tasks, logging events with timestamps, or any scenario where the model needs to reference the current moment rather than its training cutoff date.
